Real Madrid s dead loop in searching for a loin: I can t grab the ones I like, who can I buy?

Whether it is fans who often watch the game or friends who occasionally pay attention to it, they all realize that Real Madrid has considerable problems in lineup configuration. The team has too many wingers, with outstanding players like Mbappe, Vinicius and Rodrigo all being wingers, while the lack of fulcrum centers is even more prominent. This problem has become increasingly obvious since Benzema left the team.

In terms of the defensive line, the team has been seriously plagued by injuries this season, but with the addition of Liverpool's Arnold and Spanish rising star Heysen, the problem on the defensive end has been alleviated. At the same time, many fans are still shouting, believing that Real Madrid lacks the core of organizational capabilities in the midfield, and relies on several players with outstanding personal abilities in the frontcourt to play freely on the court, creating a situation of "random play".

So, the question is, does Real Madrid really need to introduce a core midfield organization? Some fans said that this issue itself is not valid. Unlike other positions, the role of the midfield organizer is that the players around him need to adapt to him, not to cater to the team's tactics. What should I do if the team is reorganized around the core of the midfield and other players do not match his style of play? If stars such as Mbappe, Vinicius and Bellingham are incompatible with the new midfield commander, will Real Madrid abandon these big names for the sake of this new star?

If you choose to abandon this midfielder, which is considered to be the core, then the players introduced may be just a "useless debt". How much impact will such a style change have on the team? As this thought emerges, it cannot be ignored that the fault tolerance rate of the organizational midfield itself is relatively low.

At the same time, there are very few top players in the global football world who are competent for midfield organizations, and people like Pedri, Rodri and Tonali are extremely scarce resources. It is not easy to introduce such players, but they need to consider their compatibility with other star players on the team, which undoubtedly complicates the problem.

Therefore, Real Madrid may have to find solutions internally, which is relatively less risky. After Kroos and Modric left the team one after another, which players in the team have certain organizational skills? Guillail's passing skills are OK, but his mentality is still immature in the game; Celeros's playing style seems to be more suitable for the midfield commander, but his personal ability is indeed limited; Valverde is an all-round player, but he is not good at organizing; Chu'amuni and Camavenga prefer the engineer-style kick style.

And Bellingham's playing rules seem closer to scoring midfield, but I don't think it's impossible to transform him into a midfield commander. Bellingham has excellent running ability and vision. Real Madrid coach Alonso has also expressed his expectations for Bellingham's future and believes that he can become the team's midfield core. At present, although there are still some shortcomings, Bellingham is still young and has great potential, and it is still possible to transform into an organizational midfielder. The reason why Bellingham can't be the core of the top midfield organization is not because of his skills and overall situation, but more because of his habits on the court. Bellingham won the Golden Globes nomination as an attacking midfielder in 2024, which made him and Real Madrid regard his original play style as a comfort zone. As long as the team can accept the decline in personal data that Bellingham may face during the transition period, his transformation process will not be too complicated.

I personally think that instead of trying hard to find new players in the transfer market, Real Madrid should give Bellingham more time and space to transform from the current "New Lampard" to the future "New Zidane". This possibility is not illusory. What do you think about this?
